Not treating people like that is what makes us better than terrorists, right? Terrorists would also believe that the people they murder and violate deserve it too.
Nah I don’t think so i have the same feelings to Sinwar as i would towards a pedophile, the majority of people think gaol is to good for them.
They have been brought up all their lives to believe it. Most don't have a world view, not allowed. Nobody's perfect, but Western civilisation is still a long way ahead of the forces trying to dismantle it (including in our own societies, regrettably).
Docs with the actual plan?
Because there's none. Hundreds of thousands of documents have been released from the archives, multiple investigations found no evidence of a government plan or effort to steal Yemeni babies. The vast majority seems to have died but there are some cases that's fate couldn't be traced.
Yeminite Jews make up a large chunk of Bibi's party's voting block, he opened the archives in 2016. There is literally no need for a coverup at this point.
Here is an excerpt from an article written by the former head of the state archives:

The Myth of the Kidnapped Yemenite Children, and the Sin It Conceals
It was the mid-1960s, and something odd was happening. Families who had arrived in Israel 15 years earlier—most but not all from Yemen—were getting IDF summons for their teenage children’s initial checkups. Yet their children had died as infants, and the letters seemed a cruel mockery. Unless …...www.tabletmag.com
The real story is the miss handling of these children. This was 1948-1954, the population of Israel roughly doubled in that time, the conditions in the absorption camps were poor. No doubt the staff overwhelmed and they handled the situation poorly to say the least.
Is it possible that a small number of the children who were separated from their family and didn't die did end up being placed in adopted homes by mistake or potentially maliciously. How many cases like this are known? Very few.
Here is a quite sympathetic take on the whole affair:

Aside from the fact that you were completely wrong about the borderline racist conspiracy theory you peddled involving Ashkenazi Jews stealing Yemenite Jewish babies and giving them to white Jews to raise, you know, the very thing I challenged you about, what am I arguing against?
It's not particularly palatable, but it's absolutely a form of resistance and one of the few (possibly only) channels of resistance available to them. Israel isn't exactly south Africa, who succumbed to a raft of international isolation and sanctions. On the contrary, their colonisation has been actively supported by the West. From the moment plan Dalet was instigated, Palestinians were given the role of second class citizens and deprived of access to true political activism. The JNF helped turn Israel very quickly in to an expropriating state to Palestinians and a racialising state, further entrenching the lack of access to political or social movements. It created an almost inevitable reciprocal violent response.
...and there goes any respect I had for you. I really can't explain why you would be standing by a fairly racist claim about Ashkenazi Jews based on a debunked conspiracy theory that comes from poor administrative, medical practice and healthcare conditions in a developing country in the early 1950s ....and then standing by it so hard in the face of zero evidence. This is somewhat surprising stupidity from you.

The health ministry says…
Surprised that all the people who claim to "just hate war crimes", haven't responded negatively to a post that is literally justifying a war crime. I was expecting a mass call out of this "it's not particularly palatable" post.

In fact, it attracted a like.
No October 7th wasn't a legitimate form of resistance. All parties to any conflict have to abide by IHL. Surely nobody is insane enough to believe that October 7th was carried out in accordance with international law. So how is it any kind of legitimate form of resistance? This is so basic, like international law 101, like first thing you would know if you know anything at all, that you would think not a single person would argue otherwise in a thread about war crimes.
The takes in this thread just keep getting more unhinged.
I am a Nancy Pelosi stan
That's from UN general assembly resolution 37/43, not the Geneva Convention
It has nothing to do with international law. It certainly doesn't override it. All parties in a conflict must abide with IHL regardless. Try reading something that's not propaganda. By the way, even in that non-binding resolution, do you think the UNGA were endorsing terrorism?
